Default Trailer Cabinet Help

I have an enclosed 20' Featherlite aluminum trailer with a bare interior. It has their standard V nose. I'd like to add some base and upper cabinets up front, but I'm having a hard time finding a good solution.

I left a message at Moduline, but no return call. The local Featherlite dealer doesn't have a good solution. I've looked at the Gladiator style garage cabinets at Home Depot, but they are heavy and won't fit the space very well.

Any ideas? If you've done it, pictures would be great.

here is my light weight and cheap solution.

during install - Top surface is a 4x8 sheet cut to fit and red racks are simple gorrila storage racks. Racks are bolted to the floor and not attached to the walls.

These guys are top-end custom fabricators, arguably the best of the best:

They are also a Featherlight dealer so know the specs.
Gary Miller is very helpful (though not prone to excess verbosity).

Delson Products is another company that makes high quality cabinets and toolboxes. At the more affordable end of the market there is Pit Products, if you don't mind the diamond plate look...

V-nosed trailers are more challenging an require a creative approach to make maximum ues of the space. Featherlite's V in pretty flat so you could just run cabinets straight across with wider, scribed in counter top. My Pace has a more severe V-nose, here's a pic of my use of that space. Good luck Mark....

The pit bike stand is pretty neat. The trailer has many features that make it a superb piece of equipment.

Gold Rush products are exceptional. It surprises me they are not more widely known within our community.

I've had a Gold Rush trailer for seven years now and love it.
They used Lista cabinets in mine which is also what you'll see used in many hospitals.
But, don't expect cheap.
Can't use that word in any sentence containing the words Gold Rush or Lista....but you do get what you paid for.

I recently came across this outfit from another forum:

http://buffaloespeed.com/Pro_Series_Ramps.html

I am like you, a new and naked interior Featherlite. I was considering having a local shop frame up the front cabinet to my liking and then just order cabinet doors.

I have not looked into it any further. Don't know if it is more or less money that way. My first goal is to get the electrical stuff done inside, winch, more lights, etc and then gameplan building cabinets etc.

Stanley Vidmar is another high quality supplier (not cheap either):

It may be worthwhile giving them a call to see if they have a "V" solution.
They have an online 3D cabinet configurator that might be useful.

These are nice, very similar to what I have in my trailer, the cost is actually pretty reasonable, and they have them in standard setups for trailer widths/configurations, makes for screw in installation:
